Russian general threatens Poland
Friday, August 15, 2008 by Dave Winer.
It sure is escalating quickly. 
AP: "A top Russian general said Friday that Poland's agreement to accept a U.S. missile interceptor base exposes the ex-communist nation to attack, possibly by nuclear weapons, the Interfax news agency reported."
Almost as if the Soviets Russians had a plan.
Gotta wonder if Bush is up to this level of confrontation.
Hope he talks to his dad and Scowcroft, and listens.
And someone needs to tell McCain, seriously, STFU.
They picked the perfect time to challenge the US. (For them, worst for us.)
Hat-tip, I read about this first, of all places, on Powerline, a right-wing blog. I thought at first, oh yeah sure, they're blowing it out of proportion, but, unfortunately, they're not.
It's in Pravda too, whatever that is, these days. It used to be the house organ of the Soviet Union, when there was a Soviet Union. Seems pretty clear, the Russians want to reconstitute their old empire, at a minimum.
